Borana tribe collecting salt in El Sod Volcano, south Ethiopia - Eric Lafforgue
El Sod, the House Of Salt, is a village located 90 km away from Yabelo, the capital of Borana people in South Ethiopia. It stands on the edge of an extinct volcano with a diameter of 1.8 km and a salt lake in the crater. For centuries, men dive into the lake to collect the salt and sell it across Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.It takes 1 hour to go down the 2.5 km narrow path, from the village to the lake 340meters downhill. . Every miner works as a freelancer, independent from any company or boss. They dive to make a living.

South Ethiopia: The Singing Wells of Borena & El Sod Salt L
The famous singing wells of Borena have been operating for more than a hundred years. There are two levels involved in bringing the water up for the livestock to drink. The lower level of the well is more than 20 meters/65 feet below the surface. The men bring the water up to the second level before heaving bucket after bucket of water into the trough for hours on end every day during the dry season. Backbreaking would be an understatement.
This was worth seeing...only in the dry season. El Sod, Salt Lake, was not. Take a pass on this one.

Ethiopia - Smallholder Producers in Borana
Putting Smallholder Producers at the Centre of the Value Chain.For more than 10 years, Oxfam Canada, in partnership with the Coady Institute, has been integrating an Asset-Based Community-Driven Development (ABCD) approach into its work with seven NGOs and more than 50 communities in Ethiopia. The videos below show how the approach has helped small producers:
· learn about their own roles in the value chains in which they operate;
· better understand the roles of markets and the roles of other stakeholders in the value chain;
· challenge exploitative business practices while looking for possible win-win' partnerships.
Gudoye Godana and Darmi Wura (Location: Borana) explain how pastoralists have come together to reduce expenditures and turn once thought of 'weeds' into resources.
